Both cylinder head gaskets (you wouldn't do just one of them) on that rig, done by a shop that knows what they're doing (such as resurface and pressure check the heads, for a start), would run at least about 6-7000 dollars. Honestly it's usually better to just find a solid used engine from a wrecker and swap that in, rather than spend all that money gambling that the bottom half of the engine is going to hold up much longer, after having been run with coolant/water contaminated oil for who knows how long.

Your guess that there was a major oil leak on that first spark plug was all wrong. The oil was on the outside of the plug; the part that stays outside the engine. So, if there is oil there, then you are guaranteed to have a valve cover gasket leak. It would tell you nothing about the compression on that one cylinder.

@Texasknowhow5 жыл бұрын
actschp1 - I was going to comment on this as well. The BMW engines have a bad trait (several actually) with the valve covers leaking oil into the spark plug wells. That’s all that is. It’s usually worst on the back ones as the engine is at a slight angle back (like most engines) so the oil pools back there inside the valve covers. It can lead to misfire faults on those plugs as the oil and dirt will conduct and lead to a current path to the block inside the well / outside the cylinder when the coil discharges. I have an 04 RR. About to start a series here on KZbin restoring it. Gonna be a great series.
@nickmeyer2375 жыл бұрын
actschp1 i came here to comment the same thing. Dont get me wrong i think this range rover is junk and is worth parts but oil on the outside of a spark plug is a valve cover gasket not telling on where the head gasket may be leaking from. There are other places that water could be coming from and a coolant compression visual check might help find it. I hate when misinformation is put out on some of these channels.

I'm gonna warn you that in my going on 20 years of Jag/Land Rover experience, the L322 Range Rovers are top 3 worst Land Rovers ever made. NOW, I'll give you some help because you seem like a nice guy. 1: Pixel Fix sells a repair kit for the instrument cluster, I have installed 3 and they all work. 2: The radio is trash go after market 3: Check the LR storage area (radio receiver, cd changer area) for water leaks as the L322 model had horrid water leak issues 4: Take care if you want to do gasket work on the engine as the upper timing covers require special tools to install 5: If you want to pull heads you can find the timing tools on Amazon or at British Atlantic 6: If your going to stuff a used engine in, you can't use one from a car (we had a aftermarket warranty find this out the hard way) 7: No Starts can be caused by a bad steering column lock module (this prevents the key from turning) There are a bunch of other things too but these are the ones I have seen get bit by the most, good luck you'll need all of it.

I bought a 2000 silverado crew cab 4x4 clean title sight unseen with unknown mileage but there was a video of showing it driving. also said it might need power steering work. it had to be jumped and wouldnt stay running, got lucky was only the battery. Power steering only works turning left. digital odometer was dead when i fixed it it had 278k miles on it!!! 2 years later it is still running, I only drive it on weekends. this is risky business buying from salvage auctions.

Question. Does not oil on top of a sparkplug indicate that the valve cover sparkplug seal is leaking without having anything the do with what is going on IN the cylinder. When you remove the plug the oil that is filling the sparkplug tunnel runs down on the electrode as you remove it?

Sam, word of advice, never keep or charge batteries on a concrete floor. Always dsit them on a piece of timber or something so they are 'elevated'. I was a mechanic for 10 years and this was taught to us very early on. I am not sure why exactly but it was always a big no no.

This theory originated from back in the day when batteries had rubber cases. The water/ electrolyte was able to in some cases permeate the rubber and could cause a dead short from plate to plate if a puddle was to form. Modern batteries are not meant to have this problem. I’m a mechanic also and I sometime can’t help but charge them on a piece of timber but that’s also just a force of habit because of how I was taught.
